Most Difficult Game/Riddle Ever.

Wow.. I have found this to be very difficult, and very addicting. I have been playing it for over 6 hours and have reached level 14, at which point I am resting.. lol.. This is by far one of the coolest things I've ever seen online.

This is an awesome puzzle, however my browser keeps crashing on level 3.
I'm running firefox 1.0.4 with the BGM Conductor plugin recommended by the not pron site to play the background music.

Anyone else have problems with firefox and this site?
I really want to continue with it

I ended up uninstalling that stupid BGM crap. If I need to hear some sound (which has happened several times) I just copy and paste it from the source into the address bar and download it.
I'm on 68...can't figure this one out....yet.

Good advice man! Firefox crashes are no more.

I've lost so much sleep over this puzzle, and I'm only on level 7!

never heard of it until your post...googled and found some forums of users because some of the levels require some extreme "outside the box" thinking....these guys have WAY too much free time to come up with this stuff...very impressive use of gray matter IMO
